Maybe because of the awesomeness/offensiveness of Lady Gaga's meat dress, one of the top-selling items from Onch Movement, a Los Angeles-based jewelry company that has created a line of food-inspired baubles, is a necklace dubbed the meat-lace.

It's hard to look at this necklace without thinking of the you're-so-ugly joke that goes: "You're so ugly your mama needed to tie a steak around your neck to get the dog to play with you." But it has gotten the attention of more than just the family pet. (Celebs such as Kate Moss, Paris Hilton and singer Nicki Minaj have sported colorful pretzel necklaces and ice cream cone chains.)
